Indonesia it seems is in a continuous pilot shortage due to not enough training schools but also the fact that locals do not really want to fly silly little turbo-props.

As far as expat hiring goes there are quite a few

Susi Air - C208B/PC-6
SMAC - CASA 212
Merpati - MA60 (but it seems possibly DHC-6 too)
Batavia - 737 Classic (rumour round the traps is they are accepting low hours with type rating
Lion Air - 737-900ER (mainly Eagle Jet P2F; seems more like a prison camp - no multi entry/exit permit with temporary residency)
Wings Air - ATR 72 (taking contract pilots with high time and recent sim checks on ATR)
Garuda - 737 Classic/NG (expansion outpacing pilot supply so taking on contract pilots)

There are others and Regional Group recently advertised for DHC-6 pilots in Indonesia also.
